NYC mosque editorial leaves reader appalled

While the vast majority of Americans do not disagree that the backers of the ground zero mosque have the right to build at that particular site, most Americans feel it’s simply a bad idea and insensitive.

In your editorial (“Mosque furor: America is based on religious freedom,” Aug. 19) you wrote:

“Do we honor the memory of those who died at the World Trade Center by imitating those who murdered them?”

I am appalled that you have suggested that there is moral equivalency between those who slaughtered nearly 3,000 people, the largest mass murder in American history, and those who simply believe that a mosque at ground zero is a bad idea.

A comment so ridiculous makes me seriously question why I subscribe to this newspaper.
